The Statutes and Rezulations
IEEPA. the EAR, and the CCL
Under the lnternational Emergency Economic Powers Act (t7EEPA''), 50 U.S.C.
jj 1701-07, the President of the United States was granted authority to deal with unusual and
extraordinary threats to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. Under
IEEPA, the President m ay declare a national em ergency through Executive Orders that have the
full force and effect of law.
IEEPA also empowers the U.S. Department of Commerce C'DOC'') to issue
regulations govenzing exports. Initially, the Export Administration Act (t'EAA''), 50 App.
U.S.C. jj 2401-2420, regulated the export of goods, technology, and software from the United
States. Pursuant to the provisions of the EAA , the DOC prom ulgated the Export Administration
Regulations (ççEAR''), 15 C.F.R. jj 730-774, which contain additional restrictions on the export
of goods outside of the United States, consistent with the policies and provisions of the EAA .
See 15 C.F.R. j 730.02. Although the EAA lapsed on August 1 7, 2001 , pursuant to the authority
3
Case 1:16-cr-20803-BB Document 3 Entered on FLSD Docket 10/24/2016 Page 3 of 45
provided to the President under IEEPA, the Presidentissued Executive Order 13222, which
declared a national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security, foreipz policy, and econom y of the United States in light of the expiration of the EAA.
Accordingly, pursuant to IEEPA, the President ordered that the EAR'S provisions remain in full
force and effect despite the expiration of the EAA. Presidents have issued annual Executive
N otices extending the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13222 f'rom the tim e
period covered by that Executive Order through the present. See, e.g., 80 Fed. Reg. 52587 (Aug.
8, 2016). Under IEEPA, it is a crime to willfully violate any regulation promulgated thereunder,
including the EAR. See 50 U.S.C. j 1705.
Pursuant to its authority delived from IEEPA, the DOC reviewed and controlled
the export of certain items, including goods, software, and technologies, from the United States
to foreign countries tluough the EAR. In particular, the EAR restricted the export of items that
could make a signiticant contribution to the military potential of other nations or that could be
detrim ental to the foreign policy or national security of the United States. The EAR im posed
licensing and other requirements for items subject to the EAR to be lawfully exported from the
United States or lawfully re-exported from one foreign destination to another. The most
sensitive items subject to EAR controls were identified on the Commerce Control List, or
tGCCL,'' published at 15 C.F.R. Part 774, Supp. No. l . ltem s on the CCL were categorized by
Export Control Classification Number (tEECCN''), each of which has export controls
requirements depending on destination, end use, and end user.

Pursuant to IEEPA, the President and the executive branch have issued orders and

Restoration Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-175, codified as a note to 22 U.S.C. j 2151) (ktthe SAA'')
in December 2003. Section 5(a)(1) of the SAA requires the President to prohibit the export to
Syria of all item s on the CCL and to impose two or m ore of six additional sanctions, as set forth
in Section 5(a)(2)(A)-(F) of the SAA.

constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and
economy of the United States.'' The Executive Order imposes U.S. sanctions against Syria,
including a broad prohibition on the export and re-export to Syria of items subject to the EAR,

any product of the United States.'' The Executive Order also prohibits any ççtransaction by a
United States person or within the United States that evades or avoids, has the pup ose of
evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth'' in the order. ln
accordance with Executive Order 13338, the U.S. Department of Comm erce, Bureau of lndustry
and Security (DOC/BIS), implemented sanctions on Syria by issuing General Order No. 2 to
Supplement No. l to Part 736 (çreneral Order No. 255) and corresponding regulations (15 C.F.R.
Pal4 746.9), restricting exports and re-exports to Syria of all items subject to the EAR other than

22. W ith certain limited exceptions not relevant here, U.S. Sanctions against Syria
prohibit, am ong other things, the export, re-export, sale, or supply,directly or indirectly, of
goods from the United States or by a United States person wherever located, to Syria or the

AIRLINES shipments for IRGC to aid the crackdown against Syria's civilian population.

the Shipper's Export Declaration (SED), through the Automated Export System (AES) pursuant
to Title 13, United States Code, Section 305 and Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR), Title 15,
